A vibration-generating device having a weight that is formed semicircular in section and has a recess near an insertion hole of a shaft. The weight, after being inserted onto the shaft, is supported in an inclined position by a support member. A pressing member applies a pressure to the recess. Preferably, the pressure is offset from the rotational axis of the shaft.

Vibration generating device having a weight caulked to a shaft

A vibration generating device having a weight which is formed semicircular in section and provided with a recess in the vicinity of an insertion hole of a shaft. The weight, after insertion on the shaft, is supported in an inclined position on a support block. Then, a tapered pressing member is moved downwardly to apply the pressure to the recess. In this case, the direction of pressure application of the pressing member is deviated from the axis of the shaft.
